Krald Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 It's already named, Retford Stadium is what it'll be called. Congrats though! oh and it's possible it could be expandable, my 33000 seater stadium was exapandable up to 65000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roykela Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I feel your pain, Padders. Having a succesful run with Groningen now. Taken them from obscurity in the Jupiler league, and back to the top in Holland. Managed to do great with them, and i was hoping they would build a new stadium, naming it after me. Got the new stadium, but they named it Groningen Stadium PS! Is it Groningen or Gronigen? Can't remember myself right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padders Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes it is FM10 using a FM08 skin or is it 07, can't remember I had £40million in the bank at the time of the message Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padders Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Oh and a month later or so, the chairman decided to pump £45 million of his own money in Happy Days! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiitastic Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 good stuff. after playing cm/fm since cm01/02 I finally got a new stadium whilst managing Liverpool the other day. Got told by the board on June 2010. took 2 years to build, it's only a 61200 seat stadiu but expandable to 75,000 and it's in my name. I asked mid season if they could extend the current stadium, they said the council will never allow it, so I am stoked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiDavidson Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 As you said it doesnt have much of a capacity, what was the capacity of your old stadium? and how did you cope in the premiership with such a small income of gate receipts, did it hold you back financially & how easy was it to save for the new stadium? i only ask because i am Hyde United on my save which only has a 4K stadium and i am struggling already in L1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Well done, unlucky about the stadium name. I have been lucky enough myself to have a stadium named after me. Didn't really do much for me as I abandoned that save not long after getting the stadium.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 i've yet to have a stadium named after me, a statue and a son.ugh Is the statue feature still in the game? I've had a stadium named after me on this one, and a son on another save, but he was a really, really naff GK, so I couldn't even give him a few games to boost his ego.

Padders Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Regarding the finances. To be honset I haven't struggled at all. My wages have also been well inside the limit and I have sold players as I have gone on. However I spent nearly £40 million this pre season to try and win the Premiership for the first time and it has really hit me hard. I've renewed alot of my players contracts as they were ending in the next 12 months and although I'm well inside my wage budget (by 100k a week) i'm now losing £4-£5 million a month (and that includes winning Champions League games). I'm still in my old gorund which capacity is 18,500 The next 12-18months could be interesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazkul Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 i've yet to have a stadium named after me, a statue and a son.ugh I'm lucky enough to have a son although the bit that freaks me out is that his first name is the same as my friend who i've known since high school Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntelaar19 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Is the statue feature still in the game?I've had a stadium named after me on this one, and a son on another save, but he was a really, really naff GK, so I couldn't even give him a few games to boost his ego. See if i've waited all this time to get a terrible son i'm going to be soooooo gutted lmao ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trents Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've only seen stadiums named after myself and the club. In the next version I think they could also be named after club legends too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've only seen stadiums named after myself and the club.In the next version I think they could also be named after club legends too. They already can. I've seen Chelsea have Carvalho Park on my game and they seem to get Zola Park a lot from what I've read on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfan2 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What always gets me is that the message says "[the new stadium will have] a capcity of around 29844". Surely there are plans for the stadium so we can say with certainty that "the planned capacity IS 29844", or you can round up/down the number and have a sentance that makes sense in english. SORT IT OUT SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3APOT Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Never had a new stadium built but then I never play too far into the future as I usually get bored Congratulations though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
